The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 2357

Chapter 2357 Joke

At that moment, Selena could feel the temperature in the office dropping below freezing point.

The chill could freeze over everything in an instant.

Eric’s face was gloomy. His long eyelashes drooped down, and when he raised his gaze again, he had already covered up the turbulent emotions inside.

Selena did not even dare to speak anymore.

Eric’s tone was cold and stern. He raised his chin and revealed his sharp jawline.

“Why should I trust you?”

Selena raised her eyes and looked at him.

“There are surveillance cameras in every room. If you want to see it, Ican have someone bring it to you, but I advise you against watching it. I'll delete it.”

She stood up, pursed her lips, and said in a soft voice, “I just want to thank you. I’m not taking this opportunity to blackmail you.”

“Did you tell Nicole?” Eric suddenly asked.

The first thing he cared about was his ex-wife. Selena was a little touched.

“Ms. Stanton and her husband also went to the bar last night. I reminded her to be careful, but I didn’t say anything else.”

Eric lowered his eyes. He felt like someone strangled his throat.

His face became extremely glum, livid, and cold as if he could kill someone.

Anger and pent-up emotions seemed to be tinged with rage and disappointment.

After all, his biological mother did this kind of thing and completely disregarded her family’s reputation and her son’s thoughts. No one would be able to accept it.

After a dead silence, Eric raised his dark eyes which were sharp and stern. His voice was hoarse and forbearing as he said, “I'll get someone to go over and destroy the footage. I hope you can cooperate.”

“Certainly.”

Selena had no objections.

After thinking about it, Selena did not want to stay any longer.

“I’ve said everything I need to. We’re even now. I have other things to tend to. Goodbye.”

She nodded and turned to leave.

When her hand touched the office door, Eric said indifferently, “Ms. Nelson, shall I give you a gift?”

Selena turned her head in surprise.

Eric stood there without any emotion as he calmly tugged at his collar, looking unruly. He knew the weight of this secret.

Thus, she knew that they were not even after helping her twice.

Eric looked at her silently, but his words were cold.

“Don’t feel sorry for your failed marriage. Do you know why Orville Nelson married you off to Derek Norton in exchange for resources from the Nelson family? That’s because you’re not his biological granddaughter. You’ re an illegitimate child because your mother cheated on your father. After your parents died in a car accident, no one knew this secret. Your biological father went to Orville Nelson and asked for money when you came of age. Only then did Orville Nelson find out about your background and take a paternity test.”

Eric spoke slowly without the slightest emotion. He was stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

However, Selena froze. She was stiff and cold, and her face was pale. She trembled unconsciously as if she could not accept this fact. Her palms were sweating, and she looked sideways at him as tears fell unconsciously.

“You...”

Eric looked at her. His dark eyes were still. He was inexplicably aggressive.

“I wanted to help you as compensation for hitting you with my car, but you refused. It’s not too late to tell you now.”

He did not like people who pestered him because of benefits.

Since he accidentally bumped into Selena, he sent people to investigate this woman.

She was cowardly, useless, and sentimental.

If she put forward her conditions, he would help her, but she gave up.

Selena did not even know how to use the resources around her, so she was worthless.

Selena did not react for a long time. She stood there and let her tears fall.
